[Sca-cooks] Manchet Size/Weight

[Stefan li Rous]

Johnnae answered Kathiline with:

<<< Here commonly an ounce ought to be the avoirdupois ounce which is  
7000/16. >>>

I remember us, mainly Bear, talking about avoirdupois ounces vs.  
regular/English ounces before, but what do these "7000/16" numbers  
represent or mean?
